More than 200 years ago, it was the place where the US Declaration of Independence was published, which was considered a holy place for the American Revolution, but now it has become a "scene of doomsday". Recently, my wife and I drove here. Of course, I didn’t dare to get off. I

Philadelphia "Zombies Street", everyone knows it. More than 200 years ago, it was the place where the United States "HTM1 Declaration of Independence " was published. It was considered the holy land of the American Revolution , but now it has become a "scene of doomsday".

Recently, my wife and I drove here. Of course, I didn’t dare to get off the car, so I just walked forward with the traffic and quietly took some pictures. But when you see all this on the spot, you will understand the anger of Americans in seconds.

This street is called Kensington Street. In the middle is a giant viaduct, stretching for several kilometers, pressing against the middle of the street, even during the day, it will block most of the sunlight. On the dark streets, there are countless cheap shops on both sides of the road, mainly aimed at the poor.

Pay attention to the bottom of the viaduct in the upper left corner, pressing on the road, covering most of the sunlight

Under the shadow of the elevated road, behind the twisted passers-by is Gold Finger Jewelry - Gold Finger Jewelry Store. Of course, it is a cheap jewelry store

. Because there are consumers who go back and forth and have change on hand, drug-addicted homeless people like to beg here, and some simply put their tents under a nearby bridge hole.

drug addicts who are unclothed, begging for passers-by

, so there are scenes in the video - many drug addicts who are like zombies appear in one shot, just like disaster movies.

But more drug addicts are distributed throughout the United States and die "quietly".

The United States now dies from drug use every year! Since the epidemic, survival at the bottom of the United States has become increasingly difficult, and more and more people are taking drugs. The deaths in 2021 exceeded 100,000+ mark.

However, 1 million people died of the epidemic and 100,000 people died of drugs, which seems to be a little "small". But is 100,000 lives , every year.

The number of drug deaths in the United States in the past 20 years is terrible!

And this is really a "Philadelphia Folding" - a "zombie siege" place that stretches for several kilometers on Kensington Street. is only 20 minutes away from attractions such as the Liberty Bell in the center of Philadelphia and Internet celebrity check-in spots!

For example, this top 10 internet celebrity dessert shop in Philadelphia selected by Yelp (US version of Dianping), is only 15 minutes' drive from Kensington Street.

When you see the people on the street with your own eyes, right in front of you, taking off your pants halfway, living under a bridge hole, lying on the roadside in various twisted postures, walking like a zombie, and maybe dying soon, how will you feel?

To be honest, my feeling at that time was: html understood the anger at the bottom of the United States in 6 seconds! And why they support populist politicians.

does not mean that populism can solve the problem of drug use, but that it is not populist elites who talk about American values ​​every day, but never talk about these practical problems, as if these underlying reality and living people do not exist at all. The bottom is too desperate! Populist people will at least scold their despair.

But what’s so annoying is that many American populist politicians and media pointed their finger at China , which is thousands of miles away, because they dare not offend vested interests!

They said: "The US drug problem is caused by China's fentanyl", "China's import of fentanyl to the United States is to retaliate against Opium War ". Therefore, our diplomats need to tell them carefully about who caused the drug problem. pulls down to see Ambassador Qin Gang appear!

Ambassador Qin Gang was interviewed by the US media " Newsweek " and taught Americans a class in the words of Mencius

On September 29, Tom O'Connor, a senior foreign policy reporter from the US Newsweek, interviewed Ambassador Qin on the issue of fentanyl.

This interview, the reporter was very professional and asked a total of 3 questions. Moreover, 's words to Ambassador Qin were basically published in the full text of - how good it is, to discuss specific issues pragmatically and speak well, and to solve the problem.

US media "News Weekly" interviewed Ambassador Qin Gang posted a screenshot of the article

Ambassador Qin said it very wonderfully. explained clearly what the fentanyl in the United States is, and why the United States should not blame China for and .

In the interview, Qin Da said in English: "Mencius said: 'Handling is not allowed in , but look for it in oneself'--If you do things that do not meet the expected goals, don't complain about others first, but look for reasons from yourself. accusing China is not the solution to the fentanyl crisis in the United States. "

Ambassador English original words: Ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius advised that if people fail to reach their goal, they should first examine themselves for the reason of their failure instead of blaming others. Blaming China is not a constructive way to address the fentanyl crisis.

interview 3 questions, all the following questions and answers were posted by the US News Weekly:

Question 1: The opioid crisis in the United States continues to develop, and some people think that China should bear part of the responsibility. What do you think? How to view

? If I want to see, the United States is sick and let others take medicine! But Ambassador Qin's answer is of course much larger than mine, and it is easier for Americans to accept.

Ambassador Qin said:

—"I have been the ambassador to the United States for more than a year. I have often communicated and discussed with all walks of life in the United States about the abuse of fentanyl in the United States. An American friend told me that his daughter has been fighting drug addiction for many years, and his nephew lost his life by taking fentanyl overdose. This made me heartbroken. I actively promoted the exchange between the United States and the China National Drug Control Commission."

First empathize with , and then reason.

-"In the 19th century, Britain smuggled opium into China, launched an Opium War, and forced China to sign an unequal treaty that was powerless and humiliated. Since then, Western powers have invaded, China's mountains and rivers have been broken, and the Chinese people have suffered a hundred years of deep suffering, but have not yet been completely escaped. The drug problem is the historical trauma and skin-wrenching pain of the Chinese nation. If you ask which country in the world hates drugs the most, it is China. So China has always held a zero-tolerance attitude towards drugs and adopted the strictest control and the most severe punishment. For a long time, the domestic drug problem in China has not been serious."

This is the heart-breaking word! Chinese anti-drug police are the most dangerous police officers. They are moving forward with the burden just to prevent history from happening again.

—"Because of the history of being deeply harmed by drugs, China has always had deep sympathy and empathy for the anti-drug cause of the United States and countries around the world. It has been vigorously carrying out international anti-drug law enforcement cooperation under the framework of the United Nations Convention against Drugs. For this, the international community has fully recognized and respected ."

—"But I also regret to see that some people in the United States claim that China is the main source of fentanyl substances in the United States. Recently, media articles said that "China has imported a large amount of fentanyl into the United States" is a "revenge of the Opium War"; 'The precursor chemicals from China flood North America and stifled international efforts' . These remarks and accusations are completely misleading and unfounded."

The United States' accusations are really nonsensical and worth refuting, but if you don't say them, they will keep talking nonsense. Keep going and see how the ambassador tells him!

reporter question 2: Have the United States and China taken practical measures to prevent fentanyl from flowing from China into the United States and prevent fentanyl precursor from flowing into Mexico and other countries?

Let me add a background: fentanyl is a painkiller. Legal use is medicine, and illegal abuse is drug use! Now the abuse of fentanyl (that is, drug use) in the United States is causing disaster, but the United States insists on passing the blame, saying that these fentanyls are all "lack of control" by China and flowing into the United States.

Ambassador Qin said:

——"China-US anti-drug cooperation has achieved many results over the decades. Because China has extremely strict control over fentanyl substances, China has not abused fentanyl substances in a large scale so far, and No fatal cases of fentanyl substances were found due to the use of fentanyl substances. However, China empathizes with the fentanyl crisis raging in the United States and has been actively taking measures to help the US respond to and resolve the fentanyl problem with its utmost efforts and goodwill."

Yes, do you think China wants to make fentanyl a disaster? We have no time to crack down! Moreover, we have zero tolerance, and the crackdown is very effective.

——"On May 1, 2019, , China was the first official fentanyl substance in the world , but the United States has not yet officially registered fentanyl substances. "

Then Ambassador Qin talked in detail about how China cracked down on fentanyl crime in all aspects. This paragraph is more technical, so I skipped it. The key is the effect of the attack. Let's look down:

-"According to the U.S. Customs Border Protection and other anti-drug law enforcement departments, from September 2019 to the present, the U.S. has not seized fentanyl substances from China . "

The United States has been saying for a long time that "fentanyl comes from China", but it has not been found once every three years. Don't look at the advertisements, look at the efficacy!

-"But what shocked China was that in May 2020, the United States put Physical Evidence Identification Center of the Ministry of Public Security of China, the National Drug Laboratory and other important institutions that undertake the detection and control of fentanyl substances, and on the "Entity List" sanctions, seriously affecting and limiting China's ability to combat drug control work. ”

Hehe, the US sanctions are crazy now and even hits themselves!

—"Recently, some people in the United States are hyping , "Chinese chemicals flow into Mexico and then fentanyl into the United States" false accusations . However, the fact is that China has never received relevant data from Mexico on the export of "China's prevalent chemicals to Mexico for drug production", and the United States has never provided the fact that Chinese chemicals flow into Mexico to make fentanyl.

Can't be found from the United States, just say that Mexico has Chinese fentanyl? ? But the same thing is said, the United States has no evidence and is talking nonsense.

reporter question 3: In the face of the huge fentanyl crisis, has the US ever asked China to take stronger measures to prevent fentanyl from flowing into the United States? What other measures can be taken to deal with this crisis in the future?

Ambassador Qin's answer is so wonderful. To explain in plain words, who is responsible for fentanyl!

——"The US requires China to monitor the loss of non-line tube chemicals and equipment in international trade . However, non-line tube chemicals and equipment , like ordinary substances such as oil, iron, and water, have a wide range of legal uses and are necessities for protecting people's livelihood. Any company can produce, export and use it on its own without reporting to government departments."

——" For example, steel can be used to make cars or guns. International steel trade cannot be banned because of banning guns. ."

——"At the same time, China conscientiously fulfills the obligations of the United Nations "1988 Convention" to implement import and export licenses and international verification systems for all chemicals listed in the market, effectively preventing chemicals listed in the market from flowing into drug production channels through international trade. Regarding the US's "know your customers" practice, it goes far beyond the obligations and agreements of the United Nations Convention on Drug Control to all countries. According to international practices and common practices, ensuring that international goods are not used for illegal purposes is the basic responsibility of the importing company and the legal obligation of the importing government. should not impose the responsibility that should be borne by the importing party on the exporting party . Moreover, the importer of international trade is abroad. Faced with rapid circulation of international trade, the exporter does not have the conditions to verify customers. Mexico is a sovereign state. Like any other country, China has no right and cannot perform its responsibilities on behalf of the Mexican government. . "

I sell you a ton of steel, and you insist on me "know whether you are building a gun or building a building"? I can't do it!

——" Mencius said: "If you don't do anything, look for it in yourself." , which means that if you do things without achieving the expected goals and results, don't complain or complain everywhere first. , but look for the reasons from yourself more .Criticizing China is not the solution to the fentanyl crisis in the United States. The US should strengthen domestic anti-drug law enforcement, strictly control borders, strengthen supervision of fentanyl drugs, crack down on the abuse of prescription drugs, and strengthen anti-drug education. At the same time, the US should also promote the permanent listing of fentanyl substances as soon as possible. "

More than finding the reason from yourself! I remember learning such a simple truth when I was in kindergarten.

What is going on in the United States? Let me tell you a tragic "magic medicine" story in the United States, and you will understand!

You may not believe it when you say it: Many drug users in the United States are not the kind you imagined "curious", "degenerate", and "chaotic private life" you imagine, and are patients who go to see a doctor honestly !

They are law-abiding citizens. They never thought of touching drugs, but because they were looking for a doctor, they became addicts under the doctor's advice of the angel in white - it's so magical.

saw a minor illness, but in the end they took the drug! What disease does

? Mainly disease that requires pain relief . What is used to relieve pain? opioid drugs.

opioid is a powerful pain relief drug with good effect, but easy to get addicted . Hospitals generally strictly restrict it, and can only be used in extreme cases- —For example, cancer patients relieve pain.

But in the United States, as long as you want, can even prescribe this medicine for toothache .

Don’t American doctors know the side effects of the medicine? Is it curing a disease or killing people?

Behind this, capital is doing things.

Here I use a plain language that anyone can understand, and tell you about The story of the "magic drug" Oxycontin is very tragic! After reading it, you will understand what drugs are in the United States and why fentanyl is really not blamed by China.

Oxycontin "magic drug" - "non-addicted drugs", lying for 20 years, cheating Americans!

996, Purdue Pharmaceuticals, the United States, produced a drug called "Oxycontin" and was approved for marketing.

Oxycontin is also an opioid drug, is dangerous for addiction .

But for the sake of profit, Purdue Pharmaceuticals vigorously promoted: "OxyContin has the magical sustained-release mechanism , which is very safe and will not become addicted." The meaning of

sustained-release mechanism is that the drug is released slowly after entering the body. In this way, although it is an opioid and is addictive, it is not addictive because the addictive part of is released slowly and can be excreted from the body in time, so it will not be addictive.

So, Opioids that were previously only used by cancer patients were transformed and prescribed to patients with moderate and mild pain.

This way sales can increase greatly, and Purdue can make money.

Purdue Pharmaceutical Company makes huge profits covered with blood from patients!

But American doctors are not stupid either. Soon, there were many conscientious doctors in the United States who found that the drug publicity was inconsistent with the reality - many patients became addicted after using it and started taking drugs!

So, these doctors refused to use this drug and spoke vigorously to inform the whole society.

Do you think this can expose the lie? Then you are too naive! Doctors are not needed, where does the money from pharmaceutical companies come from?

What happened next will shock you to drop your chin.

promotes fraud, evolves into academic fraud, and continues to sell "magic medicine"! The doctor's conscience speaks out, which has harmed more patients.

When Pudu saw the doctors speaking out, the false propaganda was no longer effective, he took another even more powerful move - spend a lot of money to hire a medical professor to commit academic fraud, saying: This is called "false addiction". The reason is not that you take too much medicine, but that you take less medicine. You have to increase the dosage and price .

This is OK? !

, you who already know the result, do you want to scold people now?

But that's how it happens.

OK. Since all the medical authorities have spoken, what do grassroots doctors don’t believe in big-name papers?

So, American doctors began to increase the dose of to patients ! ! !

For a moment, the sales of this "magic medicine" soared to the sky, and Pudu Company made a lot of money.

More patients suffered and became drug addicts.

soon, patients with severe addiction are spread all over the United States. These people became drug addicts, but They did not go back to drug addicts because of depravity, curiosity, fucking, etc., but just because of the doctor's prescription!

In order to satisfy their drug addiction, some of these people began to use heroin, methamphetamine and other drugs.

How bad are Americans cheated by the "magic medicine"?

This "magic medicine" was launched in 1996, and the scandal from to 2016 was completely exposed and made public. For a full 20 years, countless Americans have been harmed.

Americans who were cheated suddenly discovered that There is no pure and credible in the academic world, public opinion world, to pharmaceutical companies and doctors.

And where has the government supervision gone? Saying it out, that's more tears. I'll talk about it later.

The late justice has ruined many families.

Daily life on Kensington Street, Philadelphia

After the scandal was exposed in 2016, someone made it into the American drama " Addiction Dose " (Dopesick), which talked about the struggles of the victims.

- Bates, a model female worker in the mining area of ​​the United States, was prescribed a "magic medicine" by a doctor because of working-related injury and back pain . After being addicted to taking medicine , in order to take drugs, he first sold his mother's jewelry, and then to prostitution for 30 yuan of drug money !

- the once upright and kind Doctor was completely destroyed by the drug, went to a clinic in another place to cheat , prayed humbly to the sales of medicine, just to get a few addictive drugs .

drug addiction girl sells jewelry for drug money and has her own body

Alas, in addition to being angry, she is also angry. It took 20 years for the US regulatory authorities to "discover" such a big lie?

Yes, because Purdue Pharmaceuticals has too much influence.

to what extent? The scandal lasted for a full 20 years, and the US government was unable to supervise it, and the judicial investigation was difficult, and it was obstructed by senior government officials many times.

Until September 2021, Purdue Pharmaceutical finally lost the case, compensated and went bankrupt. It has been 25 years since OxyContin went public!

However, those who have lost their lives can never wake up again; those who have taken drugs can no longer get rid of drug addiction.

In the past 20 years, 6.5 million Americans have died from overdose of opioids, most of which died from Purdue’s “magic medicine”. The scandal of

has unveiled the tip of the iceberg of the drug problem in the United States.

The reason why Pudu dares to be so arrogant is that American medical care has been market-oriented from the beginning. Capital has a great influence and government intervention is less. Those who support it say that market competition is efficient, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies compete with each other, and the people will benefit.

However, there must be sufficient market competition, the premise is that The seller and buyer information are symmetrical , and no one can fool anyone. For example, if you don’t know the car, when you arrive at the 4S store, the car repairer says you have to repair it as much as you want, and you will be the one who accidentally becomes a sucker.

Medicine is much more complicated than car repairs. Patients are more weak in front of doctors than in front of car repairers, and there is no question of information symmetry at all. My life is in the doctor's hand, and I can only treat it as much as the doctor says.

Theoretically, the government needs to intervene at this time, manage it well, enhance transparency, etc., which may solve the problem.

But this is the problem - the huge medical capital of the United States has long kidnapped the government and undermined the supervisory agency.

Every time the presidential election, medical capital is a big funder. The FDA, the US government department responsible for approving drugs, many officials resigned and entered the pharmaceutical company through the "political and business revolving door". The money they earned in a year was more than 10 years ago. Who is willing to offend the future boss?

The "political and business revolving door" of the United States

Now, do you know why China strictly prevents officials from interfering in business and capital?

also knows . What is the root cause of the drug problem in the United States?

is the system. This system is unable to regulate capital and emphasizes freedom one-sidedly, and in the end it is the price of people paying their lives.

Few Americans dare to really touch this problem. They can't afford to offend the consortium and cannot change the system. only dares to scold China and Mexico . They thought that this would make them look very tough . In fact, they just don't dare to face vested interests and are unable to solve systemic problems for the people.

For this, if we cannot help the American people, at least has the responsibility to let the American people know the truth .

US drugs are very complicated, and fentanyl and Oxycontin are many different. I have written so much to explain the tip of the white iceberg.

Ambassador Qin Gang also broke it apart and told the US media a lot of technical details to finally explain the simple truth of Mengzi - look for the reasons from yourself.

But no matter how complicated this matter is, we cannot stop speaking out! If you don't say it, they'll keep talking nonsense.

If you have been seeing this all the time, thank you! I hope you share this article with more people and let everyone tell Americans: Whose fault is fentanyl?
